Title: Circuit array and method for creating a data feedback channel from receiver to transmitter in a common frequency network
Inventor: ZUMKELLER MARKUS
IPC: H04W72/04
Filed: 1995-11-25
Granted: 1999-03-04
Abstract: The establishment of an interactive broadcasting network requires not only a transmission channel from transmitter to receiver but also a transmission channel from receiver to transmitter. A novel method of creating a data feedback channel from receiver to transmitter is implemented in a common frequency network and involves the use of a transmission procedure in conformity with the DAB standard. Each receiver or user is assigned an identifier which is transmitted in the data feedback channel at specially reserved frequencies to request transmission capacity. A computer then allocates transmission capacity to the receiver. The signals received in the forward channel are evaluated using the synchronization symbols they contain in order to synchronize the transmitter component in the receiver. The novel process can be used in all common frequency networks which use data transmission in conformity with the DAB standard and ensures a particularly economical synchronization in the receiver.

Title: A genetically engineered cell line for detecting infectious herpes simplex virus and method therefor
Inventor: OLIVO PAUL D
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 1993-06-17
Granted: 1997-07-31
Abstract: A diagnostic assay for detecting the presence of an infectious herpes virus in a specimen and a genetically engineered cell line for use in such assay are disclosed. The cell line used in the assay expresses a reporter gene only if infectious herpes virus is present in the specimen. The assay involves inoculating a DNA-transfected cell line with a specimen suspected of containing a herpes virus, allowing a sufficient period of time for the herpes virus infectious cycle to proceed, and detecting and quantifying the number of herpes virus-infected cells to determine the number of infectious herpes virus virions in the specimen. The cell line is a DNA-transfected cell line susceptible to infection by a herpes virus which is stably transformed with a chimeric gene comprising a herpes virus inducible promoter and a gene coding for an enzyme, the expression of the enzyme being dependent upon and quantitatively proportional to the presence of herpes virus. A kit for such assay is also provided.
